Hon. Barnes Compton, in reviewing the
work accomplished by the democrats in
the last Cong ress, says their strongest
political card played was the recovery of
over fifty millions OF acres of the public
lands from the railroads. To some per-
sons it may seem that only those who live
in the western part of the country are in
terested in the land question, but the fact
is people in every section of the United
States appreciate the action of Congress
in restoring this vast amouat of territory
to the public domain. Even those who
are not inclined to take out pre-emption
claims at this time enjoy the feeling that
the railroad corporations have been forced
to return to the people the land which
rightfully belongs to them. The demo-
Gratis in the House voted for the restora-
ton of more than one hundred millions of
acres, but the republican Senate would
not go that far. The land question has
been one of the great political issues for
many years, and the democratic party has
strengthened itself with the people in this
particular, if in no other.

the least foundation, for the President
knows just as well as Judge Thurman

Hard to Please.

Some republican newspapers are hard
to please. When it was announced that
Hon. Jefferson Davis would visit the ma
tional drill at Washington as the guest of
Mississippi military company, the edi-
toral fancy was allowed free play in the
lumber room of worn out invective and
the "arch traitor of the Confederacy was
held up to execration as probably conem
plating raid" or some her dark design
on the national capital. The absurdity OF
thus making war upon an enfeebled old
gentleman whose chivalrous courtesy is
proverbial has a touch of grotesqueness
about it, and it would be difficult to cite
a more striking example of the folly of
which persons who permit themselves to
be blinded 10y passion or prejudice are so
often guilty. But the name OF Jefferson
Davis is to some republican editors what
a red flag is to a bull, and it would be
quite impossible for the ex President of
the Southern Confederacy, whose name
=
of every Southerner who appreciates cour-
ageous devotion to principle. to do any
thing which would meet their approval,
even il he were disposed to try. He was
roundly denounced for wishing to visit
Washington, where he lived many years
as United States Senator and Secretary of
War, and where he has still many friends,
bat now that it appears he cherishes no
such inclination and has not the least idea
of going to Washington. be is accused Of
churlishness The people of the Sou h.
whatever may be their views as to the
wisdom of his political course in some in
stances, cannot fail to honor Mr. Davis

he has been subjected will only serve to
intensity the respect and affection in which
he is held. Baltimore Sun.

The Washington Critic on as Monday

tell you, at the rate President Cleveland
is now living there is great danger that
he will not live throughout his term
to realize his danger, and take the proper
steps to prevent the result which will
surely ensue if he fails to take proper ex
ercise." Many others who are acquainted
with the sedentary habits of the President
have thought he was committing a mis-
take in going so little in the fresh air, and
then always In his carriage. A Senator
who sees good deal of him said at din
ner table the other night that if the Presi
dent did not stretch his legs little, Tho
mas F. Bayard would yet be President.
1t will be remembered that the President
several weeks since himself spok of the
necessity which he felt for exercise, and
then announced his purpose to do deal
of walking around when he got out TO
Oak View, as soon as the weather became
pleasant. But the President need not
wait until he goes to Oak View, for be can
follow the example of his predecessors
and take long, healthy walks on the ave-
nues and streets of the city. Mr. Lincoln
did not walk much on the street, but it
was quite habit of the Presidents who
preceded him. Andrew johnson was
quite pedestrian, and Gen. Grant i'll his
eight years of office was frequently seen
among the promenaders on Pennsylvania
avenue. He would often walk from the
White House to the capital and back, and
20 one ever intruded upon him. Mr. Hayes
always walked to and from church, and
the tall form of President Arthur was Of
ten noticed on the fashionable uptown
promenades.

Many OF the agricultural journals OF the

Many OF the agricultural journals of the
country are beginning to discourage the
use of fertilizers. They claim that the
forcing process, incident to the fertilizers,
is injurious to the land and that it is only
a question of time before the farmer will
find himself loaded down with impover-
isbed acres which will refuse to return an
abundant yield. The old time method of
lining, then applying the barnyard man
ure, is the surest and safest in the end
b the time our farmers are through with
paying fertilizer bills, there is very little
left, especially when the grain gamblers
are able to run wheat up and down at
pleasure, speculating off the necessities of
the farmer and realizing thousands in a
day, when lifetime of labor and priva-
tion is required by the agriculturist to
make both ends meet.

all new machines. AS the local supervi-
sors became more familiar with their work =,
the efficiency of the system would have
been much improved. 1t stood long
enough to convince all who observed its
operations that it was the par excellence OF
road systems
But the Page system was repealed 10y
the next succeeding Legislature. This
was done by the influence of some otfici
Gus political gentlemen, who discovered
or said they discovered, that in the gra'ui.
tous labor feature, it was in conflict with
the present constitution of the State. II
it be true, as it seems to be, that the pre-
sent constitution of Maryland will no,
permit our Legislature to levy per capita
tax for road purposes, as is done in New
York, Ohio and other States, then we are
sure that our contemporary will exert it
self, in common with the TINES and al
other friends of good roads in our State
in having the trouble remedied 10y the
constitutional convention which will as
semble next year.
We do not need the township system
to enable US to adopt the public road
system of Ohio and New York. As we
suggested last week, the present election
districts would probably be small enough
tor the Jurisdiction of the local supervisor
but there would be no difficulty in divid-
ing each election district into two road
districts, as was provided by the act OF
1868 to which we have referred. That
would give Charles Is and Prince Georges
% road districts and local supervisors
and all the other counties corresponding
numbers, which would certainly be sutti-
cient. And then, if it was desired, the
local supervisors could be elected by the
voters of each election district, thus con-
forming practical y to the township idea,
though it would 5e better no doubt to
have them appointed by the genera sup
erintendent as is provided IN the act OF
1868.
We have thus gone into some little de-
tail to prove to our contemporary that the
township system is not necessary to an eff
dcient public road service for our State
and that the only evil which the township
system is called for to correct may be
quite as we'll corrected wi hout it. We
believe that this system would prove to
be an unnecessary burden to the peope e
of Maryland at prese4t, to which they
could not easily accommodate themselves.
We believe our neighbor the Free Quiii
is alone among our State exchanges in Sc
rious'y advocating the township system.
Our friends up at Laurel occupy some
what unique position in respect to this
question. There is quite populous dis
trict of Northern Prince Georges, sur
that town, which is itself qui e
a thriving and enterprisins burg. They
are jealous of Marlboro and pay unwil!-
ing tribute to the county authorities at
that place. Some OF he village statesmen
of Laurel are seemingly actuated by lie
same sentiments which inspired grea,
Cesar when he said that it was better TO
be first in Mantua than second in Rome.
Some time ago an effort was made to have
a new county carved out, of which Laurel
should Be the capital. But this failed,
and now we verify believe our friends
have the same end in view in this town
ship business.
